New Aion Godstones

The Aion 2.6 update introduces seven new Godstones that can be acquired from the bonus stage of the Crucible Challenge. In the Crucible Challenge, players will receive a repeatable quest to defeat Vanktrist SpaceTwine five times. Once the repeatable quest is completed five times, a rift to the bonus stage will open at the final stage of the Crucible Challenge. In the bonus stage, players will face off against the Tiamat Assassin or an NPC of the opposing race, both of which have a chance to drop some nice loot. The Tiamat Assassin has a chance to drop a wide range of items, including Enchantment Stones, Manastones, and Balic crafting materials.
 
The NPC of the opposing race also has a chance to drop Enchantment Stones and Manastones, but also Gold Medals, Platinum Medals, and the new Crucible Challenge Godstones.
 
The Godstones are:

Name Effect
Godstone: Inggril’s Terror Imbues your weapon with an effect that has a 2% chance to paralyze your target for 3 seconds. See a Godstone Socketer to install it on your weapon.
Godstone: Inggness’s Calmness Imbues your weapon with an effect that has a 5% chance to silence your target for 5 seconds. See a Godstone Socketer to install it on your weapon.

Changes to Aion Fabled Loot Chests

As of 2.6, Named Monsters such as Kromede the Corrupt and Brass-Eye Grogget no longer drop random Fabled weapons or piece of armor, but Fabled Loot Chests which contain one weapon or armor suitable for the character class that opens it.
 

  • Fabled Weapon and Armor Chests can be traded with Group members for a short period of time.
  • However, Fabled weapons and armor contained within Fabled Weapon and Armor Chests cannot be traded.
  • When opening a Fabled Weapon Chest, there are at least two weapons each class can acquire. However, there is a higher likelihood that the most desirable weapons for each class will drop.
